Synopsis: Acclaimed urban playwright Tyler Perry explores the hardships of marriage and the benefits of working through our daily problems in this stage drama about the stressful union between a hard-working accountant and his loving wife, a harried marriage counselor. Roger Jackson works hard to support his family, a group that includes not only his ivy-league educated wife Judith, but his ganja-smoking father Stanley and her bible-thumping mother TT as well. Meanwhile, Judith doles out thoughtful advice to troubled couples every day, yet remains completely powerless when it comes to addressing the issues of her own troubled marriage. When an old college friend drops by her office, Judith faces her biggest personal challenge to date.

Note: I need to see this play to better identify people. Not all cast lists list Jermaine Sellers as being on the DVD version of the play. The matter wasn’t settled on the Tyler Perry fandom page for the play, with people asking in the comments but no answer given. Also, not sure why I didn’t find this listing on IMDB.
